Default Poker sites should offer security keys

All the threads about hacked accounts scare me enough to immediately check my balance when I first log on to a site. Paypal admits the cost of fraud due to phishing scams and hacked accounts amounts to $35M annually or one-third of their total payment volume. To combat this, Paypal and Ebay have started offering security keys.

These devices are small enough to attach to a keychain and generate a unique six-digit code every 30 seconds. Once activated, you must enter the code in addition to your username and password in order to log into your account.

Paypal says in their press release that this technology can be incorporated into other financial and ecommerce sites. I would like to see this happen at the poker sites.
